Principle or Politics

If you are employed in the private sector, then you know all too well that your continued performance and reliability are key to being successful in the workplace. In fact, if you make serious errors in judgment and do not learn from your mistakes, then your job will be in jeopardy.  If you breach the trust of your employer or your employer’s customers, you are likely to be seeking employment elsewhere. That’s right, if you lie, cheat, steal , misappropriate funds or intentionally mislead or if you provide benefits to friends, family or supporters that are clear conflicts of interest, you will likely be terminated in the real world.

 

Not so if you are employed by the US government in upper management or are an elected official.  You see, the ruling class sees themselves as exempt from the normally expected codes of conduct and that they are not accountable to the lower class which includes every non-elected person or non-management government employee.  Never has it been more clear than today that government leadership and the government regulators in leadership positions feel they are entitled to exhibit behavior that would never be accepted in the private sector.

 

Nearly every agency under the Obama administration has been involved in a scandal of some sort and there appears to be a different set of rules applied to those situations than would be applicable to everyday citizens.  I have listed 20 of just such scandals in previous comments and won’t belabor them here again, but at some point, the media and the American people need to face the reality that our dysfunctional government is the result of electing people who are more concerned about their ability to maintain control and power than anything else.

 

Overwhelmingly, the American people do not want the government to control Healthcare. Yet, the government is determined to force that situation upon us. How did “we the people” suddenly turn to “we the government”. We as Americans can take our country back. All we need do is elect folks who will behave and vote on principle and not politics. Vote new!
